You give us precious little information to work with. What
distribution and login manager are you using? Must likely you will
recieve better help with this problem on a list / forum related to
your distribution, since the problems you have are with the login
manager / X, and not really Xfce itself.
For what it's worth, I doubt that the symlink has anything to do with
the problems you are seeing.
